My Purse
If I'm traveling over 2 nights, I pack everything but my checked bag and just walk on the plane with my purse, computer and a good book. I know people say you should always pack a carry-on when you travel in case your luggage gets lost but after years of business travel, its freeing to walk around the airport carrying just a purse!
- Foundation powder, dark eye shadow and lip gloss – to look fresh after a long car or plane ride.
- Thieves Hand Spray – to wipe down surfaces that need cleaning like the airplane tray or dirty bathroom seats.
- Thieves Hand Sanitizer – to keep hands clean on the go (a must-have for parents).
- Portable charger – got keep that battery on my phone full!
- Glasses and extra set of contacts – if you wear contacts like me bring an extra set of them in your purse. Bring your glasses too!
- Headphones – to watch movies or listen to podcasts or music. Make sure your headphones are the old school ones that are still compatible with planes (not the new I-phone headphones :) )
- Mini supplement case with your favorite vitamins – I like probiotics like Life 9 or Inner Defense for supporting a healthy immune system (get them here for wholesale pricing).
- Favorite essential oils – like DiGize for digestion, Lavender for sleep and relaxation, Stress Away for dealing with travel overwhelm, and PanAway for soothing muscles. I’ve brought up to 20 bottles (5 ml size) in a carry-on before and never had any issues with airport security.

Wellness Remedies
- DiGize essential oil – I use this oil blend (made with fennel, tarragon, anise, peppermint and other essential oils) to help support healthy digestion. When we eat greasy foods or just foods that don’t agree with us, we take DiGize. It’s also excellent to use for long car rides or high altitudes.
- Cool Azul Pain Cream – This pain cream is a god-send for sore muscles after sitting too long on a plane or long car ride, or even after a long day of walking or hiking. It soothes muscles and joint stiffness (get it for wholesale pricing here).
- Inner Defense – I never leave home without this supplement. It helps to support a healthy immune system.
- Life 9 – probiotic supplement that keeps my gut happy when I travel. For both Life 9 and Inner defense, you can get it for wholesale pricing here.
My Travel Routine
- Before I get on the plane or on the road, I take 1-2 oz of Ningxia Red It’s an antioxidant drink that’s fantastic for keeping the immune system healthy. They come in 2 oz travel packets too and I toss enough for my whole trip in my packed bag.
- I also take Inner Defense and Life 9 (probiotics) both from Young Living. I want to keep my gut as all health starts in the gut.
- Opt out of the body scanner at the airport. It doesn’t take much longer to do. It’s just a pat-down and they check your bags. It's way better than the radiation you'll pick up from the other machine.
- Board the plane and settle into my seat. Use my Thieves Spray to clean surfaces I’ll be using like the seat handles and tray table. Use Thieves to keep my hands clean.
- Put on some Stress Away essential oil and Peace and Calming Essential Oil to help me settle down after all the hustle and bustle of getting to the airport.
- Put in my ear phones and listen to audible or read.
NingXia Red, Thieves Spray, Thieves Hand Sanitizer, Peace and Calming, Thieves, Digize and Stress Away are all part of a starter set of essential oils that I use. Learn more about it here.
